I am looking for parties with experience using the Photon and/or Mirage
graphics adaptor cards (fixed frequency monitors usage) with XFree86 under
either 2.0.5 or 2.1.

1.Are the cards robust - any bugs or other problems ?
2.Any support from the suppliers ?
3.Can anybody tell me how to set the card parameters s.t. they come out of
  reset at the proper sync speeds (is this done by switches or NVRAM ?).

Thanks

Carlo
